Purchasing
![]()
We can all make a difference by making smart purchasing choices! When making any purchase there are some important factors to consider:
- The environmental cost of source products - the intensity of production including use of chemicals, water and electricity.
- Distance the product has travelled.
- Social equality - is the product certified Fair Trade?
- The entire life cycle cost of the product - once used, can the product be reused or recycled?
When purchasing office products and supplies, why not choose a more environmentally friendly alternative. One of our approved suppliers, Corporate Express, provides a range called ‘Earthsaver’. These products use recycled material, less chemicals and toxins and are highly competitive on price.
